Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 249

As Elena's words fell, everyone in the room looked flabbergasted—including Angela.

She had never expected that Elena would go as far as confessing her feelings in public upon being driven into a corner.

Elena ranted, "Dexter, can't you open your eyes and see who's truly the best for you? You never thought much of her before, so why are you—"

"Shut up!" Dexter's face contorted with fury.

He angrily glared at Elena, who was running her mouth, then gave a firm order to Rocky. "What are you waiting for? Take her away!"

Rocky called two men in to assist him. Together, they dragged Elena out of the hospital room.

Finally, the farce came to an end.

After the crowd dispersed, only Angela and Dexter remained in the room.

"What do you plan to do with her?" Angela asked, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window as she watched Mia and Zayn leave.

She was kind of surprised by the turn of events.

Dexter responded simply, "I've asked Rocky to handle it."

What he essentially meant was that Elena would be sent to the police.

"Can you really bring yourself to do that?" Angela heaved a long sigh.

Back then, Elena had been the woman of the hour in Dexter's social circle. Many people even thought she was the true Mrs. Bamford.

Angela used to stew over that constantly. But now, she felt nothing at all.

"She did wrong, so she has to pay the price," Dexter said, retracting his gaze. He suppressed the frustration that bubbled in his chest.

He could see it clearly now—Angela didn't care how he felt. But he couldn't just let that go.

"You should get going. I need some time alone," he said.
